Hi guys I just got a c63 and I wanted to put my Rohana 19 ich that I had on my c300 but
I have a problem with the big break in the front wheels wont turn cause of the big breaks touching the inside wall of rims. Would spacer solved my problem

Yes a spacer may help. A lot of members use a 10 or 12mm (maybe even 15mm) spacer on the front and a 10 mm spacer on the rear on OEM wheels. Search around and you will find lots of info.
The ET on the OEM wheels is +45 front and +54 rear. Check for the ET for your Rohana's and you should be able to figure out what spacer will work for you and not cause rubbing on the fender lip.

Thanks for the info
My Rohana are
19x8.5 offset 45 front
19x9.5 offset 50 rear
My problem is that the breaks dont have enough space in the circle of the wheel to turn
Is like the wheel diameter is not big enough for it to spin

The smallest spacer with a hub centric lip for our C63 is 10mm and you will not be able to fit a 10mm spacer on the rear and it will be really close on the front if you can fit it at all.
How much do you need to space the wheels out for the spokes to clear the brakes? Are you only having an issue on the front? It is not the diameter of the wheels that is the problem as the OEM wheels are 18" and your Rohanas are 19". It is the spokes that are not designed to clear big brakes. You will definitely be able to fit a 5mm spacer on the front and maybe a 3mm spacer on the rear with 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. A 245 front and 275 rear might fit but you are quickly running out of room.
Best bet sell the Rohanas and buy some wheels designed to fit the car.
